FAQs
A few things you might like to know about coaching…
Is coaching like therapy?
Coaching is a journey of reflection, discovery and self-awareness combined with action and self-motivation. Coaching is non-advisory, solution focused and designed to move you forward rather than dwelling on the past. It’s a powerful method to help you improve, grow and develop and learn new skills and tools to manage your life more effectively.
Are you going to fix me?
You need to be committed to making the changes that are needed to undertake the journey. I can champion you, support you, spur you to greatness, but I can’t do the work for you. And you don’t need fixing. I’m going to help you gently realise you are already enough just as you are.
What can I expect from you as my coach?
To respect and hold your vision – even when the going gets tough and you lose sight of it, I never will.
To challenge you when needed – old beliefs, habits and behaviours are often deep-seated. We’ll uncover the underlying reasons you’re stuck and set up more useful and helpful habits together.
To support you – I’m on your team and my passion is to see you succeed. I’ll champion you and support you every step of the way.
To be honest – even if it’s difficult or uncomfortable, I will always be straight with you.
To curate and tailor the information – you’re an individual with individual needs and the last thing you need is more information, you need the right information and the right actions for you.
To make it fun – it can feel so heavy for so long and I’m here to make the process fun, light and as easy as I can.
What do you expect from me?
A commitment to change – just turning up to the sessions is not enough. You have to commit to yourself to do the work and take responsibility for the outcome of the coaching.
A commitment to the session – turn up on time, take the opportunities when we’re together seriously and be present in each session.
A commitment to the homework – take responsibility for the mutually agreed upon actions in each session. Often the greatest understanding, realisations and clarity come in between sessions.
To be honest – even if it’s difficult or uncomfortable because it’s in this space that the greatest changes happen.
To challenge yourself – you can play it safe sure, but if you really want to grow then up your game. You’ll be amazed at how small changes make a BIG difference.
To have fun – this is your life, your health, your dreams, your journey. Enjoy it, embrace it and have fun with it. Not everything will be serious, nor should it. Plus I like laughing, it’s good for you!
Can we meet face to face?
If you are in Glasgow, and you would like to meet face-to-face, let me know. I work with clients around the world. Whilst face-to-face is best; I also use Zoom for one-to-one sessions. Correspondence can be via WhatsApp or email.
